Intro
Verse
A day with no glory
A heart filled with fear
Repeating his story to make ourselves clear
A voice is unheard when it shouts from the hills
Your king in his castle never died on these fields
Theres blood on your hands, a smile on your face
Wicked intention, theres money to be made
A room with no windows and a heart that cant feel
Shame with no convictions and a view to a kill
Chorus
Tell me why, why must we fight
Why must we kill in the name of what we think is right
And no more
No war
Cause how do you know?
Verse
The hate in your eyes
The lies on your tongue
A hand that kills the innocent, so quick to do wrong
The belly is full while we fight for what remains
The rich getting richer while the poor become slaves
We kill our own brothers, the truth is never told
If victory is freedom, then the truth is untold
Surrender your soldiers like everyone else
If love is my religion, dont speak for myself
Chorus
Tell me why, why must we fight
Why must we kill in the name of what we think is right
And no more
No war
Cause how do you know?
Bridge
And how do you know?
And how do you know?
And how do you know?
And how do you know?
Chorus
Please tell me why, why must we fight
Why must we kill in the name of what we think is right
And no more
No war
Cause how do you know?
I'm living this life,
I'm given these lies
And how do I die in the name of what you think is right?
And no more
Oh Lord
Cause how do we know?
And how do we know?
And that's it. Really easy, straightforward song. But good nontheless.
